Smart doll a privacy risk

27-Feb-2017

'My Friend Cayla is a smiling, blonde doll that can answer questions and play games by pairing with a smart device. She might also be spying on you.

German watchdog group the Bundesnetzagentur (Federal Network Agency for Electricity, Gas, Telecommunications, Post and Railway) warns that hackers can use Cayla to steal personal data through
an unsecured Bluetooth connection. It's already removed the doll from store shelves, and it's encouraging parents to take precautions.
